The Sharp Saab in Thailand

On our Facebook fanpage we`ve nearly 1200 fans now. One of them is Krit Jongudomsombut from Bangkok (Thailand). As we maybe all know, in Thailand a Saab is very rare (for sure not so common like here in Europe).

Krit told me people in Thailand really don`t know Saab. If he parks at the public car park people often call his car a Sharp (brand of electric appliances) instead of Saab. Krit is a Saab fan for many years. And he`s not the only one in his family. Also his brother in law drives a Saab.

The Saab 96 shown above is the wedding car of Krit and Puntita (they`ve planned their marriage januari the 23rd). Krit drives his Saab 96 for 5 days a week and he gets a lot of attention on the road. Krit drives a very exclusive car because there are just 2 other Saab 96`s left in Thailand.

In the past Krit had also a 1993 Saab 9000CD. Below some pictures.

Finally a picture of the Black Saab 9000 CD Krit owns, this one is from 1997. Do you have a Saab too, feel free to post your picture with or without story on our Facebook page.

Mogens Saab96 Hagen

One of my Saab friends (Melle) is living in Danmark and brought me into contact with Mogens Bennedsgaard Hagen. Mogens is a Saab 96 driving vicar in Danmark and helps me if I need parts for my 95 veteran. Melle e-mailed me a link about Mogens, unfortunately I cannot understand the language but you can see Mogens driving in his 96.

According to Melle a vicar driving in an old Saab is very rare in Danmark. In the area where I live (Zeeland / the Netherlands) I know more Saab driving vicars. One of them has a black 9-3 hatchback, an other one has a "noisy" red Arrow and participates with our local Saab meets.
